(2003) Different first page when using letter wizard
I have used the letter wizard to set up my letter leaving a 5cm space for my
letterhead. However, for some reason, Word is assuming I wish to print every page of my letter on headed paper, and has left a 5cm gap at the top of every page (there are two pages). I have attempted to use the header and footer settings and set 'different first page' but that hasn't worked - there is *STILL* a 5cm gap at the top of the second page. How do I set it (and I'm sure there must be a setting I'm overlooking) so that the gap is only at the top of the first page - different odd and even hasn't worked either. Word 2003 SP1 on Windows XP Pro SP2. Or am I blonde? -- Facon - the artificial bacon bits you get in Pizza Hut for sprinkling on salads. |

I should add that I cannot add a section/page break as it buggers up my numbered bullets. -- Facon - the artificial bacon bits you get in Pizza Hut for sprinkling on salads. |

I don't know if you just let the wizard take care of everything, but I would suggest that before you print, you can go into the second page and use the Page Setup option and change the margin to whatever you want and select it to take affect from this point forward. That should allow every page after the first page to have normal margins versus taking on the first page margins setup. You can find the Page Setup under the File menu. Arcarius 76 |

I would suggest creating and using your own template rather than the letter
wizard. It is clunky and doesn't produce good letterhead. For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages. http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step instructions. (It also has the following links) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not). If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is), Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...ncecheckbookA/ Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.
